So here is a brief overview of the 2008 CAA conference in Dallas. There is no Bohemia. everyone gets dressed up and applies for jobs, the world of academia is as cold and stiff as everyone described. There are good eggs and bad eggs though, It is fun to differentiate between the folks who are obligated to be here and the ones who came for the party. At times i find myself being part of the sea of dazed graduate students, flowing in and out of the interview tables, finding out that there are thousands of people exactly like them, and that their MFA is almost as useless as their BFA.
Although this was somewhat what i had expected, actually it is exactly what i had expected it to be, the element is still daunting. Good news for the week, I have received a fellowship with the hamiltonian gallery in DC, and will get two years of representation and some cash and hopefully a little guidance. just nice to get a little light in what otherwise could be a dark tunnel.
more to come.
